So far, much of the focus has been on the risk for transboundary water conflicts. Our current knowledge on local water conflicts is however more lim- ited, and tends to be based on sporadic accounts of local water conflicts rather than on systematic empirical evidence. At the same time, the extent and nature of local water cooperation is often overlooked, just as we know little about the particular role of the poorest in water conflict and cooperation. The lack of such knowledge jeopardizes current initiatives taken in many de- veloping countries to ensure a more efficient and equitable water governance. To fill this gap, the Competing for Water research programme developed a conceptual and methodological framework for developing comprehensive in- ventories of local water-related conflict and cooperation. This report docu- ments the results of applying this framework in Namwala District, Southern Province, Zambia and discusses the implications. 6 DIIS WORKING PAPER 2010:15 7 DIIS WORKING PAPER 2010:15 ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS DC District Commissioner DDCC District Developmental Coordinating Committee DWA Department of Water Affairs D-Washe District Water and Sanitation Health Education ECZ Environmental Council of Zambia ESCO Engineering Services Co-operation FAN Fishermen’s Association of Namwala FAWEZA Forum for Women Educationist GRZ Government of the Republic of Zambia GWP Global Water Partnership MACO Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives MCDSS Ministry of Community Development and Social Services MEWD Ministry of Energy and Water Development MLGH Ministry of Local Government and Housing MTENR Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources NDWA Namwala District Women’s Association NFA Namwala Farmer’s Association NGOs Non Governmental Organisations NWASCO National Water and Sanitation Council PDCC Provincial Developmental Coordinating Committee PPAZ Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia SWASCO Southern Water and Sewerage Company TFR Total Fertility Rate WAZ Water Aid Zambia WWF World Wide Fund for Nature ZAMPOST Zambia Postal Services Limited ZAMTEL Zambia Telecommunications Limited ZANACO Zambia National Commercial Bank ZAWA Zambia Wildlife Authority ZDHS Zambia Demographic and Health Survey ZESCO Zambia Electricity Supply Co-operation 8 DIIS WORKING PAPER 2010:15 CHAPTER 1 Besides the fear that increased competition for water leads to poor people losing their 1.1 Introduction and Background access to water and thus further limits their Water and poverty are increasingly being options for moving out of poverty, there linked in the public debate, not least due to is a fear that increased competition for wa- the Millennium Development Goals and the ter leads to increasing conflict among users explicit target to halve by 2015 the propor- within as well as among different sectors.

  • Monthly Report January 19 – February 19, 2002 Summary
    Monthly Report January 19 – February 19, 2002 Summary • Zambia continued to experience a generally normal to below-normal rainy season. The dry spell in the southern parts of the country is of great concern as this has extended into some high- producing districts in Southern Province (Choma District), Western Province (Kaoma District) and the southern parts of Central Province. Crop yields in these areas are expected to be significantly reduced as a result. In some areas, crops have passed the permanent wilting point. • Zambia’s neighboring countries of Malawi, Mozambique, and particularly Zimbabwe have also experienced well-below normal rainfall this season. • Zambia’s food security situation continues to be of great concern, as the availability of staple food (maize) remains limited this late into the marketing season. Many households are also having problems purchasing maize as a result of exceptionally high prices. • The World Food Program started its relief food distribution program on January 24. So far, progress has been good despite the slow rate of relief food being brought into the country. Out of the estimated 42,000 MT requirement, only 12,000 MT has been purchased in South Africa for distribution to Zambia. Response from donors has been slow. As of February 12, 1,800 MT of maize was received from South Africa, all of which has been moved to the targeted districts. 1.0 Rainfall and Crop Condition 1.1 Rainfall Generally, the rainy season in Zambia so far has been characterized by normal to below-normal rainfall. Normal rainfall has been confined to northern and central parts of Zambia.

  • MONTHLY REPORT February 20, 2001
    Famine Early Warning System NETwork - Zambia MONTHLY REPORT February 20, 2001 SUMMARY · Excessive rainfall in the northern half of Zambia has resulted in water logging in many areas. These include some high maize-producing areas of Eastern and Central Provinces. The extreme southern part of Zambia has experienced consistently dry conditions. Crops in part of these areas have wilted. · Southern Africa regional rainfall imagery shows persistent rainfall deficits in Zambia’s maize trading partners of Zimbabwe and South Africa during January. · The price of maize remained relatively stable from mid-January to first week of February, implying relative balance in supply and demand. · The real into-mill price of maize has been consistently much below that of the three previous years since July for Lusaka District and August for Choma District. · In the year 2001, government hopes to attain a 5% economic growth rate and bring down inflation from its current level of 30% to 17.5% by December. · The Kwacha appreciated significantly by about 23% against the U.S. dollar from early January to end of January. 1. AGROMETEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS Zambia is receiving normal to above-normal rainfall in line with the 2000/01 rainfall forecast. The rainfall in northern parts of the country has been mostly heavy, causing flash floods and water logging in many areas. The southern part has, on the other hand, been receiving mostly normal rainfall with the exception of the extreme southern part where some crops are reported by agrometeorologists to be at the permanent wilting point. In line with the forecast by Department of Meteorology, the country has so far received normal to above-normal rainfall, except for the extreme south.
